Compilation of letters forwarded to the secretary of labor and the secretary of health, education, and welfare which summarized the findings and recommendations of the national manpower advisory committee at 32 meetings between September 1962 and December 1971 thus providing an intimate view of the evolution of federal vocational training programmes for labour force development in the USA - includes additional information on financing of training programmes, and comments on relevant labour legislation.
This political history of US manpower training and employment policy from the 1946 Employment Act to the current Job Partnership Act analyzes the failure of the US to adopt viable employment policies. Between these two landmarks of legislation lie the War on Poverty, attempts to create public service employment (PSE), the abortive Humphrey-Hawkins Act, and the beleaguered Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA).
